[Q] Root and Unroot the new firmware

Hey there! :laugh:/
I just bought my Xperia M C1904 and updated to the new firmware (android 4.3, version 15.4.A.0.23)
I wanted to root it to uninstall som apps that came with the phone, then unroot it. I looked at the threads and all I found was how to root the previous version, or the dual version of the phone...
Have anyone rooted (and unrooted) it seccesfully?
If a thread exists and I missed it, plz link me there! plz!
Thanks! :laugh://

To unroot all you have to do is open the supersu app, go to the settings tab and click the full unroot button.

Is it possible to downgrade to kk and than root ?

Yes

start by reading the FAQ sticky http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2711073
and get familiar with the terms as mentioned in Q5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2744194
then if you still have questions, post back

so if i do the the q2 in the frequently asked questions it will work on 5.0.1 with the exact same steps? so there isn't a 5.0.1 guide anywhere ;/?

so i successfully rooted but alot of games don't work...any rom reccomandation with good game combatility? chaos rings doesn't even boot up :/ just throws me back to the main screen

[Q] Rooting Lollipop 14.5.A.0.242 Question

Hello!
First of all I'm New to Z1 Compact Thread so Please bear with me
Basically, I want to Root my Z1 Compact running 5.0.2. And Flash Custom ROM afterwards. Now my Question is, do i need to unlock bootloader first before rooting? or can i just root my device first and then unlock my bootloader after? And is there any direct way to root 14.5.A.0.242? or i need to downgrade first to kitkat and then do the root process? Any reply is greatly appreciated. Thanks! :good:

There is no twrp officialy for any model. H815 and one more. Not sure exact number. Also mm is unrootable. And most devices cannot downgrade from mm to ll without suffering bricks due to qfuse versions u may be outa luck

Please open only one topic of the same content really it doesn't help if you open separate threads with the same question
Your device cannot be unlocked officially so you will have no option at the moment to install a custom ROM on it but you can install TWRP for your device just search for TWRP in FIsH

[Canadian Guide] - Complete Source for the LG G4 H812. Linux VM/Root/Tools&Files:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/canadian-guide-complete-source-lg-g4-t3212449
Read the instructions and ALL the posts there to get a good feel for the how-to. You will be able to successfully root, install Xposed modules, Titanium Backup and as steadfasterX pointed out above, install a TWRP custom recovery version with TWRP-in-FisH (Version3 Beta 4 and 5 seem very stable - the links are in a couple of the later posts):
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048
Read everything thoroughly and if you run into problems, post questions to those sites.
You will not be able to root with any of the root apps in my experience.
Good Luck,
S.
